the amount of noobs in this comment is so damn high! in my opinion, the game is quiet balanced. There is nothing wrong with any of the heroes, every each of them have their cons and pros..though i agree with them about adding a new hero..a female would be nice :3

Make pudge's meat hook able to hook up to 5 heroes and damage is scattered, and make dismember an AoE skill, and slark should be nerfed it's to strong for a team to handle in a clash. very helpful IceFrog if you consider this. :D

Rubick Scepter Upgradable: improve duration or less cooldownEarth Pandafix traxex :)Tarasque regen anytime then reduce to 1% hp regen per sec.Diffusal Blade:no more upgrade of damage or etc.. just , the charges can be replenished by buying the recipe again.Random Draft :)No BackdoorCentaur's ulti.. the old one :)Tiny's 3rd skill, 10,15,20,25 armor :)Assist get half amount of gold when kill.Circle of power can reach shop to sell items if dead

Add a new skill for Rikimaru he needs a stun maybe??? Or a skill Wherein you can get a massive armor reduction on Rikimaru and nearby allies or just make the smoke screen targeted to an hero and it also affects nearby allies cuz rikimaru is just useless if the enemy get a gem

redo visage, give wisp more hp pls(hes strengt for god sake),a herro like inviker would be awsome, a earth panda maybe,add agnam upgrade to rubaiky goes black hes freakin unstoppable and can escaoe to many spells making him freakin scary to fight off on most heros

there is lot of method to overcome traxex why ppl become dull, now traxex become too weak, start of the game with armor of 1 and very low HP, with bara traxex is nothing..and about huskar there are ways too..need smartness and trick..noob should learn more and stop rambling this and thats

You should change Trax ult to a spell instead of passive like you did with Cent, cause first you buff her, then you pretty much remove that buff, so I think it will be great if you just turn that in to some sort of spell, or change the idea of that passive. Increase the chance of PA crit, rework seeker's skills so he can be picked in competitive scenes, add scepter to AA, make QoP att. animation a little faster, increase rubick's 3rd skill percentage by 5-10%,rework Spec second skill, increase meepo's dmg

Almost all carries has some signicant presence to its team(let it be lategame or early),say for example, voids chronosphere,or bara move speed,drow trueshot aura,etc. Phantom assasin in no way does a gud job as in team so none actually likes her to take in competitive games where early game significance of a hero should definitely be present. I think PA should be remodelled a bit considering DOTA as a team game, so that people just not take her for fun but also as a competitive hero as well..... do think about it :)

Ursa, huskar, bara can be countered with Razorbut traxex ... shes just too imba imo unless u focus on her on early gamenevermore imba? nah he has low hp can be killed easilymedusa! imba late gamenaga is just g4yslark...mmm ... same as traxex .. focus on early game else u r screwedtroll needs an improvementu think if its possible to add 1 more stats view .. magic defense?

back with cent ulti 6.74c, Trax 3rd can go lvl 33, so imba even when its only lvl6 it can pwn rs with lifesteal and 3 Wraiths, new hero panda STR, anub with Aghanim,Terror with Zeal again, magic resist luxury item and old tarasque bro.

Actually,Everything in DOTA this time is actually balanced.One thing,NERFING alchemists Ult?hes pretty much useless if his ult cool down is long.he's a bread without he's ult.And Another.Traxex Imba?nah.I once played garena but traxex was no match for my bloodseeker even if she has blademail.I see that all youwant is to nerf heroes that always pawns you ingame.Traxex is weak early game.so harrass he much.thats all.all you want is to make DOTA an easy and fun game.But DOTA is not all about fun you know.Strategize who to counter to traxex.and another thing,Leaviathan is balanced.I played him and i can kill 2 to 3 heroes in one go with his current skills.so no problem.and nerfing clockwerks battery assault will prolly make him a weak hero.so please,make sure your suggestion is about new heroes instead and not nerfing.Nerfing traxex 3rd skill to affect jut herself is good.But making her ult as an active skill?absolutely NO.

can you create a sludge hero,make it agility, and replace roshan with other thing. and make item such as mana steal an item that work as life steal but change to mana. and also fix sven storm bolt, it does not function when enemy targeted is covered with fog.

can you make a creature such as a pumpkin or whatever that is moving and teleport in the jungle in a hidden way.. after kill the creature, you will obtain an item or extra gold or in a simple word "surprise"..just my suggestion.

change the map terrain make it lile in dota 2 terrain and maybe should make aganims scepter for all heroes..and renew all heroes physical appearance to make it more exiting to players. this changes can attract more players to play dota. thaks

if we have zeus why don't we have hades, with its thid skill somehow similar to phoenix's 3rd skill, but black spirits not little birds. and also SS like magnus' but more epic effects coz' he is the god of the underworld.

pls make kardel's slow stackable like batrider's he's just far too useless and pls do improve his headshot and i expect new heroes like a golem and a female strength hero and please return terrorblade's zeal he's now much useless and rubick's scepter upgrade and another.. make a item that creates illutions that can cast spells too for just a short period of time that's all thanks mr. icefroggy ^^ :D

Please!!!!!! remake MEDUSA make her a real treat,Do something about his ultra low stat gain and Modify her ulti something like a shattering cuality, when the hp of heroes is low, add her aghanims, please,ICEFROGGGG you are deafff

remake balanar's ulti. merge his 3rd and last skill.. i mean like shadow dance, theres passive as well as active effect..active effect is darkness and the passive effect is hunter in the night... and replace his 3rd with life steal, maybe?

Why not Add Hero like the Harpee and the Nuetral(Walking Dragon) so that their will be new heroes to be used and make magnatuar and Levi's ulti have aghanims and returns Levi's third skill cause its kind of useless thanks!

New heroes could be really cool, but there are several imbalance issues that needs some work first, I think. First in mind - Traxex, she is too simple, yet powerful. Maybe Nevermore souls quantity need some work too. And look at last new heroes - Wyvern, Sekywrath, etc. overpower them with old plain ones is a lot of trouble too. Sorry for my English.

Game is great, just a few balances and nerfs needed.Trax, Troll, Nyx need some work. Trax needs silence removed OR damage nerfed, Troll needs a fix (he can bash on his axe throw spell, this is broken). Nyx can insta-kill too fast, making some games unbearable - perhaps reduce damage from mana burn, increase some casting times?I just think a few heroes needed to be picked at a bit, especially in the stun/silence vs. DPS department. (ex Lion, Trax)

Also, gold for denies? Like 2gp melee, 3gp ranged and 5gp catapult? Not a large amount but something to help supports afford more than wards + boots!

Centaur Is Better when he has his old Ultimate what will he do with his return when the only item that has str is 2 Heart while the rest of his items are Boots of travel,Blink dagger,radiance,and Pipe.And please Make a new hero like everyone said the 3rd panda Earth spirit with one of his skill can heal the tower if it can be deny but can't be healed 10% while the tower is under attack or is attacking with a cooldown of 90 sec and a 3 sec tangled and another skill that summons a mini tower with 200 health and 50 damage per attack and an ulti that heals friendly target 20% of their health and removes harmful spells to them.And Aganims on rubik the can steal two spells or grant rubik his father's skill that can summon a blue spirit golem like warlock but it will heal allies 2% of their health that are close range to the spirit and enemy hero lose 250 damage for the summoning and a 3 sec stun and 100 damage per sec that are close to it.

magina is so weak at the start of the game that he lags behind in leveling up.. he has no kill skills really and mana burn is nothing compared to other heroes fourth skill. beginner or no beginner i'll just choose traxxex or invoker which always assure the chance to win.. which is not already exciting.
